“…Moreover, this research added only RL drivers and the values of a new environmental paradigm to extend the TPB, and other variables could be included in the future. This may include knowledge, past experiences, inconvenience, openness to change, awareness, responsibility, environmental awareness and knowledge, and social and moral norms [22,38,45,97,136,148]. These factors can be considered variables that may be added to the TPB in order to analyze consumer intention relating to the e-waste collection programs more comprehensively.…”

Consumer Intention to Participate in E-Waste Collection Programs: A Study of Smartphone Waste in Indonesia

2021

Indonesia is a developing country with a low-level e-waste management system based on a limited number of informal initiatives. E-waste requires proper management procedures, which involve the design of a reverse logistics management network. Consumers play a critical role in such a network, because the network runs when they willingly participate as suppliers of waste. This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behavior framework and extends it using Reverse Logistics drivers, the Value Belief Norm Theory, and facility accessibility to explain consumer intention to participate in e-waste collection programs. A survey was conducted on smartphone users in Indonesia, with a total of 324 valid questionnaires. The results showed that government drivers, facility accessibility, and personal attitudes significantly influence consumer intentions. Environmental concern has a positive influence on consumer intentions through the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior and perceived behavioral control through government drivers. This study shows the need for integration, because the variables reinforce each other. However, neither economic drivers nor subjective norms significantly influence consumer intentions. This finding distinguishes Indonesia from other countries, especially developed countries, in that e-waste collection programs have not become part of the culture in Indonesia. For this reason, Indonesia needs regulations, as the most influential variable, to regulate the implementation of such a program.

“…During the enforcement of movement control order, farmers were facing difficulties to communicate with one another; hence they rely more on the information and advice of the DOA officers to make decisions related to their farming activities. Several studies about the environment (Razali et al, 2020) and agriculture including the use of pesticides (Abadi, 2018;Bagheri, Bondori, et al, 2019) found that subjective norm has significant positive influence on behavior. However, scholars also found that subjective has a significant negative relationship with behavior (Ekasari & Zaini, 2020), while others found that subjective norm is not significant in influencing behavior (Shin & Hancer, 2016).…”

“…For PBC, this study found a contradictory result as compared to previous studies in various contexts. PBC consistently has a significant positive relationship with behavior in the study about food consumption (Ekasari & Zaini, 2020), environment such as waste separation behaviour (Razali et al, 2020), the use of eco-friendly reusable bag (Ekasari & Zaini, 2020), and agriculture sector such as the use of pesticide among farmers such as cereal (Bagheri, Emami, et al, 2019), cucumber (Abadi, 2018), and vegetables (Nguyn et al, 2018).…”

“…Subjective norm is defined as the pressure perceived by individuals from their circles that influence their behaviors (Ajzen, 1991). Several studies about the environment (Razali et al, 2020) and agriculture that include the use of pesticide (Abadi, 2018;Bagheri, Bondori, et al, 2019) found that subjective norm has significant positive influences on behavior. However, scholars also found that subjective norm is significant and has negative relationship with behavior (Ekasari & Zaini, 2020).…”

“…Moral norm is one of the variables that is regularly used as an extended variable included in TPB. Most of the studies found that moral norm has positive influence on the intention or behaviour of the participants (Bagheri, Emami, et al, 2019;Ekasari & Zaini, 2020;Razali et al, 2020;Shin & Hancer, 2016). A study conducted by Razali et al, (2020) found that moral norm has the biggest impact on the behavior of waste separation among Malaysians.…”

Harumanis demands delicate handling and farmers must know how to use safe pesticides. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine factors influencing the use of safe pesticide among Harumanis farmers in Mata Ayer, Perlis. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was used to underpin this study. This study suggests that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, knowledge and moral norm as the variables that influence the use of safe pesticides. Data were collected from 97 registered Harumanis farmers under Department of Agriculture (DOA) Malaysia through questionnaires. SmartPLS was used to test the hypotheses in this study. The results showed that attitude, moral norm and knowledge had positive effects on the intention to use safe pesticides. Moreover, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control exhibited insignificant effect on the dependent variable. The results provide helpful information to the stakeholders in the Harumanis industry, from which they could develop and improve appropriate strategies and provide essential assistance to the Harumanis farmers.
